Social Networking
• People use social networking to communicate: to
share what they think (micro-blog) and to respond to
others (comments).
• People share where they are (location) and what
they’re doing (events), providing additional context to
their messages.
22. Kevin Popović | @SatelliteMktg
Social Networking
• Structured conversations, like a question and answer
(Q&A), can provide a framework for communicating
and can be scaled as necessary to accommodate the
number of people and what they want to discuss
(discussion and forums, crowd wisdom).
24. Kevin Popović | @SatelliteMktg
Content Sharing
• Content Sharing sites help people share all the
different types of information and electronic media that
can be shared using a social networking service or a
website.
• People can share text, documents, pictures, video,
music, multimedia and the like.
25. Kevin Popović | @SatelliteMktg
Content Sharing
• Content sharing sites also provide the ability to
construct content (blogs), to create an archive of
content (social bookmarks, social curation) and to
monitor its ongoing development (social streams).
• People can share their comments on the content at the
source (ratings and reviews, discussion and forums) or
at any place the content is shared.
26. Kevin Popović | @SatelliteMktg
Content Sharing
• Although people create most content in advance of
sharing, some sites enable people to share their
content while they are creating by broadcasting a real-
time, synchronous stream (livecasting).
28. Kevin Popović | @SatelliteMktg
Collaboration
• Social networking sites enable people to
communicate, and content sharing sites enable people
to share content.
• Collaboration sites enable people to create a social
network and to share content for a purpose.
• A group of people can collaborate on a small project
(nicheworking) with a particular interest or with more
people on a larger scale (wiki).
29. Kevin Popović | @SatelliteMktg
Collaboration
• People may collaborate to create social capital
(influence) or for capital gain (social marketplace,
social commerce), and a large group of people may
collaborate on an (enterprise level) interest or with
more people on a larger scale (wiki).

Introduction to Social Media
• Do we have to make it any more complicated than
that?
• And if we agree that’s all social media is – another
technology for people to communicate with other
people – we can start applying what we know about
communicating using technology and other media to
communicate better.

We will address this later.
Social media has become a compulsory channel of communication for every type of business and organization. The early concepts of “the blogosphere” evolved into “social media” and its definition, defined by many, is one of the biggest challenges businesses face: what is social media?
Definitions, by definition, are intended to add clarity to a word, a phrase or a concept. Introductory definitions serve as an education to the unknown, contributing to the formation of early thought, and subsequent definitions help facilitate discussion and potentially even create new thought.
At least, that’s how it’s supposed to work.

People more often use examples than a definition. Most will start off quickly with the social networks they use, like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, then remember, Google+, and LinkedIn, but they never get to a definition. This speaks volumes on how difficult “social media” is to define – and that is a problem. If we can’t all agree on what “it” is, how will we ever be able to use “it” together?
Like my colleagues, and perhaps you, I’ve been interested in how “social media” has been defined from its inception, and how it is being “defined” today as it continues to evolve. The once mystical is now familiar, as social media has become a mainstay of popular personal and business communications. However, the accelerated rate of evolution keeps changing what it is, what it does and how we all use social media.
When I’ve asked people, “What is social media?” I more often get examples than a definition. Most will start off quickly with, “It’s Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, you know…” then remember, “Google+, umm, LinkedIn…” They’ll trail off as their eyes look to the ceiling in hopes of thinking of at least one or two more, and they never get to a definition. When people struggle with an answer, they revert to what they know, what they’re comfortable with, so they start naming the sites they use. I find that speaks volumes on how difficult “social media” is to define.
As an early adopter of online communication (I’m talking AOL chat rooms in the early ‘90s), I know what I think it is. But much like defining “sex” on the playground in fourth grade, I’m very interested in what other people think it is too. I’ll tell you now: the definitions are not all the same, and it depends on whom you ask – and that is a problem. If we can’t all agree on what “it” is, how will we ever be able to use “it” together?
Another way to define social media is to examine its components—what is social media made of—and the reason for its existence—what do you do with it? By understanding there are different types of social media, we can better understand social media as a whole.

In version 4.0 of the Conversation Prism, Brian Solis has detailed 26 different types of social media* for our consideration. He explains, “Using the traditional definition, a prism separates white light into a spectrum of colors. The ‘white light’ in this case, is the focused stream of conversations that are often grouped, but not separated by voice, context, source, or outcome. We take this beam of dialog and blast it into a spectrum of discernible light, let’s call it enlightenment, to see, hear, learn and adapt. We quite literally bring conversations to light. Used figuratively, it references the clarification or distortion afforded by a particular viewpoint…for example, ‘We view conversations across the networks through the prism of our social dashboard.’”
Social Networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn or Google+ enable people to connect with other people. Whether it’s for personal use or business, it’s still a social networking service.
